Top 100 Science Blogs Winners
CONGRATULATIONS to every blogger that has made this Top Science blogs list! This is the most comprehensive list of best Science blogs on the internet and I’m honoured to have you as part of this! I personally give you a high-five and want to thank you for your contribution to this world.
If your blog is one of the Top 100 Science blogs, you have the honour of displaying the following badge on your site. Use the below code to display this badge proudly on your blog. You deserve it!:
WUWT comes in at #41 out of 100, handily beating The Guardian Science at #46, The New York Times Science at #47, Huffington Post Science at #48, Smithsonian Science at #51, and RealClimate at #62.
Notably absent are the attack sites, such as John Cook’s “Skeptical Science”, Tamino’s “Open Mind”, and Sou’s aka Miriam O’Brien’s “HotWhopper” dungeon of anonymous haters.
Of course, now the caterwauling starts, because we just can’t have this. There will likely begin a behind the scenes campaign to get WUWT removed, even though the website says:
Ready to challenge your own scientific perceptions?
Which, is what we do here on a regular basis, and some people just can’t tolerate that.

Of course, I could not do this alone. If it were not for the dozens of people who help with guest posts and moderation, and the thousands of readers, WUWT wouldn’t have the presence it does. My thanks to you all!
I come here for facts, data and the truth. Apparently many others do too.
Congratulations to WUWT and all the staff and contributors!
facts, data, truth, critical analysis, testing of alternative hypotheses, …
you know, stuff we lump under, “Science”.
… and honest-in-you-face peer review in real time.
In support, Stephen, just one example of the contrary approach by politicised science: IPCC metadata collection and report preparation. It is a Good Old Boy network with a predetermined conclusion. I would ask the Climate Blog Cowboys to refute that.
Thanks, again, Anthony.
Congratulations. I send all my skeptical friends to this site. It takes a while for them to get past some of the tongue in cheek references, but the content here certainly opens minds and offers a fact based approach to the key topics.
Congrats Anthony.
Congrats! Keep up the good work
Congrats! Next time I see you, I expect you to be wearing a little paper medal pinned to your chest.
This adds a whole ‘nother dimension to the notion of “peer review.” There is immediate-content-and-process peer review (at which WUWT is outstanding and sets a much higher standard than the “official” reviewers) and there is a higher, more-strategic level of review that considers larger contexts and the integrity of science itself. And so now the reviewers have been reviewed, and honored appropriately. Thanks for all your efforts and successes, and may you have many more years of incisive engagement.
If the criteria were limited to just climate science rather than science generally, WUWT would have a much higher ranking. In a search for the word “climate” in the citations, WUWT is #3.
I would disagree. I think that by staying focused on climate this blog is way more effective than other general information science blogs. Stay a master of one instead of average at a lot.
Congrats to all who keep this site going.
Opps. I misread what you had said. Yes as far as climate blogs go this one is the best and has been for some time.
My sincerest congratulations. This site is a beacon of hope, that some truth can be found, in the distorted world of pop culture. Thank you.
Congratulations!
Congratulations
Dr. S. Jeevananda Reddy
Well deserved!
Congratulations from Rosario, Argentina, Antony
Fantastic
Well-deserved recognition, but clearly underrated at #41.
Congratulations!
Congratulations on a well deserved honor.
And many thanks for all the great postings over the years.
Anthony,
My congratulations to you and those who make WUWT the best.
I’m not that good with math, but wouldn’t WUWT actually be one of the top 50 Science Blogs?
Congrats to Anthony and all the others “behind the curtain”.
Congratulations. Well deserved!
Congratulations, you are all good teachers!
There is only one WUWT Enterprise. If there were two you might have come in second.
Thank you for your courage to stand up “for such a time as this”.
Congratulations!
Obviously
This is a site for sore eyes (from reading all the MSM and other climate crapola out there).
Ah Lists..Here is what I see.
Since A Watts’ site is ranked 41, there is, therefore, 40 other sites to troll and find out who is involved in the RICO push by the state AGs.
Also, I wonder if that fat-head Lewandowsky is on such a list?
He needs to be put on a list.
“I have got a list,
Of those who won’t be missed.”
Well done everyone!
